Flock CEO Garrett Langley Calls Deflock Camera Mappers Terrorists as AI Surveillance Expands to Beaches and Playgrounds
Flock cameras read license plates and capture people. Some always listen for distress sounds via AI microphones. Freeform AI finds specific vehicles through plain English searches while drones respond in under a minute.
This builds ongoing tracking as AI zooms on phones and faces during daily activities and collects device signals to form persistent individual profiles across locations.
Departments adopt it quickly, often unaware of camera versions, while unencrypted data leaks and cameras appear at beach entrances and playgrounds.
Flock CEO Garrett Langley calls mapping terrorists yet officers have stalked exes with hundreds of queries, leaving people with no recourse against the surveillance.

Spanish PM lays out his blueprint to censor the internet
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions:
First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites.
Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense.
Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate.
Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work.
Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.

That solution was for the Apollo Abort Guidance System. When Apollo 13 had its mid-space explosion a year later, the crew used her backup system to get home safely.
She helped save a moon mission and delivered a legend in the same afternoon.
